IMPROVEMENT INVAPRARATUS FOR PUD'DLING IRON.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 143,811, dated October 21, 1873 application filed August 9, 1873.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J osnrn Dnvrns, of Knoxville, in the county of Knox and State of Tennessee, have invented a new and Improved Puddh'ng-Tool, of which the following is a specification:

The invention will first be fully described, and then clearly pointed out in the claim.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved puddling-tool, and a section of the bench on which it'is mounted. Fig. 2 is a section of the tool on the line as w of Fig. 1, and a side elevation of the bench.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A represents the rod or shaft of the puddlingtool B, on which is a pulley, G, for revolving it. The pulley is fitted by a journal at one end in a bearing in a standard, 0, and the shaft is fitted in the pulley so as to slide freely endwise, and has a long key or spline, D, working in a groove in the pulley, to be revolved at the same time. The standard is jointed at E-to a section, F, which is seated by a collar, G, on the bench H, and has a cylindrical extension, I, passing down through a long slot in the bench-top, also through a loose washer or collar, J, which is secured by a pin, K. The bench ranges parallel with the front of the furnace, and is pivoted just above the ground turning the section F of the support, and that it can be shifted along the bench parallel with the furnace, and thus all necessary movements can be made to work the tool in all parts of the furnace to manipulate the iron for puddling and balling.

The principal object of thejoint E is to keep the shaft or rod horizontal while swinging forward and backward on the pivots L.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The puddling-tool shaft D, pulley O, jointed revolving and sliding stand 0 F, and the slotted and jointed bench H, combined and a1 ranged substantially as specified.
